Trowa x Harry

If you didn't know him, you would not be able to see just how agitated Trowa Barton was.

It was Christmas and he still hadn't found that perfect gift for his precious boyfriend. They had met at last year's Christmas party at the Preventers office that Heero had dragged Trowa to, so that he, Heero, wouldn't be suffering through it alone.

Trowa had seen the small Englishman before while visiting Sally Po, but it wasn't until the party that he had come to know him. Trowa had found himself deeply in love with the quiet and shy Brit named Harry Potter. He still remembered the threats Sally had made to his manhood when she found out about his affection for her small protégé, she had truly frightened him even if he didn't show it. Harry had laughed and blushed when Trowa had told him of the incident, as he didn't understand what it was with these women and adopting him as their own. Did he send out some sort of 'Love-Me' vibes that only hit elder women and make them love him?

As he walked past a store he heard a song that made his lips twitch upwards in a mischievous smirk, as the lyrics inspired him to a rather devious idea for Harry's present.

When Trowa came home to their apartment he had a parcel under his arm, which was promptly hid so that Harry wouldn't find it. After hiding the parcel from his boyfriend, Trowa entered their living room and his face lit up with a gentle smile when he saw his Harry try to reach the top of the tree. Silently he stepped up behind Harry, took the star out of his hands and placed it at the top of the tree. Harry turned to him with a smile on his lips and the lovers shared a sweet kiss.

That night the two of them shared a simple dinner before retiring for the night. Trowa made sure to set his silent alarm to go off about an hour before he knew Harry would get up to prepare breakfast for the two of them. He fell asleep with a smirk on his lips anticipating his Harry's reactions in the morning.

When Harry awoke on Christmas morning it was to a cold and empty bed. It was kind of shocking, since they, when they could, stayed in bed in the mornings when they had nothing to do. He donned his dressing gown and puttered into the living room, where he froze at the picture that greeted him. There by the tree was his beloved wearing... A big, red bow?

Harry had to swallow an extra time, and his cheeks flushed with arousal at the picture his boyfriend made. I mean who wouldn't?

"Merry Christmas, love." Trowa said with a smirk.

There was a knock on their front door.

"If it's anything less than the apocalypse, I'm slamming the door in their faces!" Harry grumbled as he walked to the door. At the door was the other pilots plus Sally Po, Millardo and Relena Peacecraft and Catherine Bloom. Harry looked at them.

"Is there any sort of life threatening situations that requires Trowa or me?" they shook their heads negative. "Is it the apocalypse?" once again a negative. "Good. Then you can come back tomorrow!" He shut the door in their faces and went back to join his lover in the living room.

He was going to enjoy opening his Christmas present.


Sucky ending I know, but my muse suddenly up and left me for Christmas on the Bahamas. *pouts* not fair!

Any way the song that Trowa heard was 'My Only Wish This Year' by Britney Spears. More specifically the lines of:

He'll be all my own in a big red bow

And he's all I want just for me underneath my Christmas tree

Well that's all you'll get from me

Merry Christmas
